It was nice and quiet last night. I could tell that the other guests were appreciating it too, because I kept hearing a woman in the next room telling her partner how good it was. She must have really meant it too, because she was moaning with pleasure.

I'm back where I was on Tuesday night. But all these different Premier Inn rooms are starting to blend together. I know how long I've been in each one by how many mini UHT milks are left in the teamaking area.

I'm told that the drive at my parents' house will be finished by Thursday and I can cease my wanderings. But will Thursday ever come?

I'm going to have to walk into town again today. It's so frustrating, there's a big Tesco literally at the next roundabout but you aren't allowed to walk along the by-pass, and it's quicker to go into the town than to work your way round to Tescos.

Gosh, that was exhausting. Good exercise though.

I took a stroll earlier to that Tescos I was talking about yesterday, cos I found a path on Google Maps that reduced the journey to a mile. And very pleasant it was too, through fields of daisies, one of which had a puss-cat stalking through it.

My parents have finally finished having their drive relaid, so I'm back in residence after 14 consecutive nights in hotels.

Excellent practice for my Scottish plans though. Which commence at the end of October btw.

Next step: the "static home".

I'm in disgrace for getting oil on the new driveway

Actually they were very nice about it, but I feel awful

We cleaned up the oil in the end.

But this weekend I have to go and stay in a hotel again, because my wicked aunt and uncle are coming to stay, and they'll be using the guest room.

I'm quite pleased really though, I think 3 weeks is about as long as I should stay here continuously in any one stretch.

I was at my storage units at 8.30 this morning, and I worked solidly till 2pm sorting through boxes of cr*p.

I am now in a position to move more boxes of cr*p from the 3 indoor units to the outdoor one, for possible disposal.

I did just as I said I would yesterday. Plus I consolidated various boxes of cr*p together, freeing up yet more space.
